Maui Trip

[TwoPort]

Rented a 1600GTL for a day in paradise. Speed limit for most of the island is 45. Rode towards Hana till too much rain. (there's a reason its so green) Then back up to the mountain; finishing in Wailea for the sunset. What I liked most about the bike was the super smooth suspension. What I liked least was the foot pegs forcing me to be in one position all the time.

When I am lusting over new bikes, the lack of long floor boards is near the top of reasons I use to rule out a model. I wonder why no one makes retrofit kits to add them.

I saw a R1200rt with floor boards that the guy put on aftermarket so it is out there

Kuryaken makes them!

 

[Snowdog]

How long are they?

 

[TwoPort]

I thought about where some highway pegs might be positioned as well. The issue is there is a large 6-cylinder engine in front! The positioning will be pretty wide.

Yup with lots of size and configuration choices. Not sure about fitting them on a K or an R.

You only took two pictures?

 

[TwoPort]

I took lotsa more pictures but not of the bike. Just the crappy beach island scenery you can't get away from....

They don't have to have bikes to be good

Hotel deck pano.

Who really runs the place.

Necessary sunset picture. You can see some strong guys in a big canoe out there. Too much hard work for me.

Out front at Mama's Fish House. Not a bad place to hang if you have to wait a bit for your table.

That "crappy beach island scenery" is pretty doggone good. Reminds me of Northeast Ohio...........
